It boggles me how a third rate novelist wanna be philosopher like Ayn Rand is so popular now, it really bespeaks the anti-intellectualism of the American conservative that they would think a crackpot like Ayn Rand has any depth worth plumbing besides a few bon mots about the virtue of selfishness which so conveniently plays into their need to justify their greed and indifference to their fellow countrymen.
Whereas the prophet of will-to-power, Nietzsche, is now almost completely forgotten when his ideas about will-to-power are only all too much in evidence in the dysfunction in American government, petty power junkies giving each other the finger as they try to grasp more and more power for themselves.
Alas, woe is us, the idiocracy cometh!
